Hi Linux gamers, TLDR: my laptop has 2 videocards, the better one has no audio when running a game via Wine. Anyway, I'm running Lost: Via Domus through Wine on Linux Mint 22.3 and I've hit a frustrating audio issue tied to GPU selection. Here's the situation: The problem: - When I launch the game using the Intel Arc GPU (default), audio works perfectly - When I launch using NVIDIA RTX 4050 via PRIME render offload, there is zero audio - The issue persists whether or not DXVK is installed in the prefix System specs: - Distro: Linux Mint 22.3 Zena (Ubuntu 24.04 base) - Kernel: 6.17.0-19-generic - CPU: Intel Core Ultra 9 185H - GPU 1: Intel Arc Graphics (MTL) — driver: i915 - GPU 2: NVIDIA RTX 4050 Max-Q Mobile — driver: 590.48.01 - Audio: Intel Meteor Lake-P HD Audio — PipeWire 1.0.5 - Wine: 9.0 (Ubuntu 9.0~repack-4build3) - Display server: X11 with Xwayland Launch command (NVIDIA, no audio): WINEPREFIX=~/.wine_LOST __NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia WINEDLLOVERRIDES="d3d9=b" wine Yeti_Final_Win32.exe Launch command (Intel, audio works): WINEPREFIX=~/.wine_LOST WINEDLLOVERRIDES="d3d9=b" wine Yeti_Final_Win32.exe What I've already tried: - `PULSE_SERVER=unix:/run/user/1000/pulse/native` — no effect - `__VK_LAYER_NV_optimus=NVIDIA_only` — no effect - Verified via `pactl list sink-inputs` that the game IS sending audio to PipeWire when on Intel (sink input shows `application.name = "Lost"` at 100% volume) - When on NVIDIA, no sink input appears at all — the game isn't sending any audio to PipeWire Key observation: The audio pipeline completely disappears when switching to NVIDIA — it's not a volume or routing issue, the game simply stops outputting audio entirely when PRIME offload is active. The Intel Arc handles the game okay but struggles in heavy scenes (beach area with many NPCs), hence wanting to use the RTX 4050. submitted by /u/Furious-polak69

XACT is an audio driver required for bo1 but somehow it is making the game lag while it reports a stable fps.
And I do have NSync installed

Hi im setting up my BC-250 and i am not sure if the RADV driver is installed. The documentation says that if it shows (RADV GFX 1013) that means its installed. But the documentation also says that if llvmpipe (LLVM 22.1.2, 256 bits) is shown means that its not installed. So I am asking because i not sure. Thank you

Steam has a feature to show CPU + GPU performance data on a simple overlay. Previously this feature worked just fine. I use Steam native client, installed from .deb.

After I updated my GPU driver to v. 595, Steam client fails to recognize my GPU and instead displays my integrated GPU's info. Note: this does not affect games at all. Games run just fine. The issue is with this overlay.

Do you think this is something that I should be able to fix, or is this something I should report as a bug to Valve?

I tried solving the issue by fiddling with the steam.desktop file. If I change this file's parameter "PrefersNonDefaultGPU" to "true", then Steam hardware info gives me this reading:

Video Card:

Driver: AMD AMD Ryzen 9 7900X 12-Core Processor (radeonsi, raphael_mendocino, LLVM 20.1.2, DRM 3.64, 6.17.0-22-generic)
Driver Version: 4.6 (Compatibility Profile) Mesa 25.2.8-0ubuntu0.24.04.1
OpenGL Version: 4.6
Desktop Color Depth: 24 bits per pixel
Monitor Refresh Rate: 143 Hz
VendorID: 0x1002
DeviceID: 0x164e
Revision Not Detected
Number of Monitors: 2
Number of Logical Video Cards: 2
Primary Display Resolution: 2560 x 1440
Desktop Resolution: 3760 x 1920
Primary Display Size: 27.56" x 15.75" (31.73" diag), 70.0cm x 40.0cm (80.6cm diag)
Primary VRAM: 512 MB

And if I change the "PrefersNonDefaultGPU" to "false", Steam gives me this reading:

Video Card:

Driver: Mesa zink Vulkan 1.4(AMD Ryzen 9 7900X 12-Core Processor (RADV RAPHAEL_MENDOCINO) (MESA_RADV))
Driver Version: 4.6 (Compatibility Profile) Mesa 25.2.8-0ubuntu0.24.04.1
OpenGL Version: 4.6
Desktop Color Depth: 24 bits per pixel
Monitor Refresh Rate: 143 Hz
VendorID: 0x1002
DeviceID: 0x164e
Revision Not Detected
Number of Monitors: 2
Number of Logical Video Cards: 2
Primary Display Resolution: 2560 x 1440

Primary Display Size: 27.56" x 15.75" (31.73" diag), 70.0cm x 40.0cm (80.6cm diag)
Primary VRAM: 21474 MB

So it looks like the "false" setting makes Steam kinda try to read the correct GPU... but not quite. It now shows something about Vulkan, but still mentions the iGPU info. Also VRAM amount is now changed, yet still wrong.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

The other maps work perfectly fine but cache for some reason won't let me connect to the server or it will kick me after being in a game for like 2 minutes. Cache was my favourite map back in the day so its sad i can't even play a proper game on it.

I recently installed Bazzite on my notebook. Razer Blade 15 2018 GTX1060. When i plug in my secondary monitor, and move my cursor like i want to go over it, i won't even get it on that screen and my system freezes. As far as my understanding goes, it's because of Wayland. Didn't have such an issue on Zorin OS. I wanted to try Bazzite because it's really nice and gives me the feeling that my pc can be a bit faster and have better fps. The fact that i didn't notice noticeable improvement in fps in comparison to Win 11 on Zorin is just my observation, maybe I'm doing something wrong. But i guess, given the age of my GPU and how Wayland hates old Nvidia's, I'm cooked. By no means is this hate on Linux or Bazzite. I've really enjoyed it, even tho i struggled a lot because I'm not that familiar with technology in this sphere. So do i understand it correctly? Can't really use Bazzite because it causes this issue and the problem is unsolvable pretty much? I've enjoyed Linux, but Zorin didn't feel right to me, not much improvement in FPS and Bazzite which i love does not work for me. Ain't gonna learn with Arch based distros because I don't have time for that. I needed something plug and play. I guess windows it is, unfortunately

All releases after version 0.8.1 no longer show video memory usage. Kubuntu 26.04, Intel Arc A750LE. Has anyone encountered this / been able to solve it? LACT does not have problems with this, for example - but in the game it is useful to monitor video memory. I hope this will not be ignored and will be fixed someday.

Also, no version can display any other data in video RAM.

if anyone else here plays HSR, have you also had issues with invisible cars since 4.1? i've tried repairing and completely reinstalling the game multiple times, but it never helped. i am also using the 120fps registry edit

example where you can see the car's shadow. UID and TB name redacted just in case

They said linux is easier... and it is. This feels like Linux last time I tried. I've got a desktop, Ubuntu downloaded and installed today. The card is a 5070TI.

I have the download .run file from Nvida. There were not any instructions that I saw, just a file. Looking on Reddit, someone said just past this and (insert branch here)... WTF is a branch. Someone else said never ever ever install from Nvidia... I think that is what I was about to do?

It seemed like when I installed Ubuntu, it said something about installing graphics drivers automatically?

Here is what AI told me to do before I stopped to look on here before I mess things up.
""
Sudo apt update && sudo apt install build-essential linux-headers-$(uname -r)

""
I ran this, thought it might be helpful

EDIT: Steam is saying I don't have any graphics drivers installed. This is why I think I don't. Steam says 32bit NVIDA driver files were not found. (Are graphics cars running 32bit?) It's telling me to run some stuff in terminal. I'm going to run that, I trust steam.

Quick context: I've been building Scales of Silence solo. Today's update drops Proton and ships native Linux.

The pitch in one line: it's couch party snake, but collisions shrink you instead of killing you. Tail length is your life bar. Up to 8 local players, serpents have different speed / acceleration / starting length / growth rate, 50 levels in the free demo.

What shipped today (v0.6.3):

• Native Linux (no more Proton)
• Native PS4 / PS5 controller support with proper button glyphs
• Performance improvements on Low and Medium settings
• Camera framing improvements for 3+ player matches
• QoL stuff

https://store.steampowered.com/app/4489580/Scales_of_Silence/

Demo is free, around 60-90 minutes, and your save transfers to the full game when it ships.

Genuinely want feedback. Distros, controller pairing, weird setups, anything.

Im am on the 4070 ti super right now but I'm not really happy with the cooling design. Is it a good idea to switch to the 9070 xt in the process?

I'm on Ubuntu 24.04, and hunt runs great through Steam/proton, however I can't hear as well as my teammates can and I'm unsure if it's Cryspatial or if I should install a 7.1 Surround to emulate it in my Razer Kraken V3 X headset. I've looked up configuring Hesuvi through Pipewire and plugging in a surround sound preset from the HTRF database on Airtable but I don't know if that would work on games running through Steam with Proton or not. I'm kind of afraid to bork my system up, I've only been on Linux for the last year or so.

Thanks guys!

Hi

So this is a longer post.

I have tried and tried to get HDR in Linux in order without success, or maybe it works, I don't know anymore

First when I bought my screen and build my PC, they said wait for the new mesa driver, when the mesa drivers came out, they said wait for the new drivers to go into Steam somehow, then wait for the new proton, then wait for the proton to enable HDR, then wait for some compositor in KDE,then wait for the new Valve/AMD HDR api color pipeline, then wait for the new Linux kernel to get it merged, then I need to change to KDE instead of Gnome

BUT NOW EVERYTHING SHOULD BE ALIGNED....... or not ?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My System:

Operating System: Fedora Linux 44

KDE Plasma Version: 6.6.4

KDE Frameworks Version: 6.25.0

Qt Version: 6.10.3

Kernel Version: 6.19.14-300.fc44.x86_64 (64-bit)

Graphics Platform: Wayland

Processors: 16 × AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D 8-Core Processor

Memory: 64 GiB of RAM (60,5 GiB usable)

Graphics Processor 1: AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT

Graphics Processor 2: AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D 8-Core Processor

Manufacturer: ASUS

Mesa Newest driver (long past the required 25 something)

ProtonGE 10-34 newest release

Steam Flatpack (people said that this should contain the newer mesa driver or something and it does)

Monitor: BenQ EX321UX, HDR1000 over DisplayPort 2.1

Steam Launch commands:

PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 PROTON_ENABLE_HDR=1 %command%

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I enable HDR in KDE options I calibrate the screen as pr what the AI says of info found in places like reddit

I can see that HDR is enabled by also opening the screen settings on the screen itself and it will confirm to me that YES HDR is working.

Now when I Launch Diablo 4 with the launch commands already mentioned, and I put on HDR in the D4 settings, all colors becomes much brighter and washed out, really really ugly.

OK tsothat must me this game

I try to do the same in Resident Evil 4

Other than the pause menu, that becomes brighter. I cannot see any changes in game

Ok another game

Dead Space remake.

I put on HDR and the change is not better, it is almost reverse than what happens in Diablo 4, everything becomes slightly darker, and the contrast colors from the game without HDR disappears, so bright light is not as bright

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now after all this time waiting for all the tech I was told that needs to be here, can anybody tell me what am I missing to finally makes this work ?

is it the games that have bad implementation, because I though that games like this, with a lot of dark and shadows would be perfect for HDR ?

So what do I need to do and what games do I need to put on to make this work ?

are there any people here that have made HDR work with a similar setup as mine ?

For the life of me I cannot figure this out. I have run the 'chmod' command to make sure it's executable, I have reinstalled both the game and the mod files, I confirmed they are in the right file path. 'Target' and 'Start in' file paths are correct(comparing side by side with a working machine), No updates required. All I can figure is that it's a timeout error, I think. Running 'sudo %command%' makes it crash before it even starts up. Deleted prefix folder and let it remake the file. I am at a loss.

ersc ver.: 1.9.9
OS: Bazzite

Followed installation instructions as listed in the installation guide.
